I met her by the picket fence in the summer heat
Two kids with skinned-up knees
Running barefoot down the street
We'd catch fireflies in Mason jars
Whisper wishes to the stars
Neighbors since first grade
Now she's breaking my heart
High school football games, cheering from the stands
She'd sit beside me with her friends
Holding pom-poms in her hands
On Friday nights, we'd drive her daddy's truck to the old swimming hole
I'd steal a kiss by the moonlight
Ah, the girl next door is my soul
She's my lifelong next-door neighbor, more than just a friend
We'd talk about our dreams until the morning light began
Through the highs and the lows we've stayed friends, long and strong
In this bro country love song
The heart always finds where it belongs
After graduation day thought we'd part our separate ways
But she stayed in town and my love for her never swayed
Bought a house on Willow Lane, just a stone's throw from her door
Two hearts intertwined
Only the future knows what's in store
She's my lifelong next door neighbor, more than just a friend
We'd talk about our dreams until the morning light began
Through the highs and the lows we've stayed friends, long and strong
In this bro country love song
The heart always finds where it belongs
Now there's kids playin' in the yard where we used to be
History repeats itself, love's become our legacy
Through every night and every day, she's mine forever
Our story comes full circle, bound together.
After graduation day thought we'd part our separate ways
But she stayed in town and my love for her never swayed
Bought a house on Willow Lane, just a stone's throw from her door
Two hearts intertwined
Only the future knows what's in store
She's my lifelong next door neighbor, more than just a friend
We'd talk about our dreams until the morning light began
Through the highs and the lows we've stayed friends, long and strong
In this bro country love song
The heart always finds where it belongs
The heart always finds where it belongs!
